REVERSE FUNCTION
The Reverse function exchanges a separate reception and transmission frequency. So, while using a repeater, you can manually check the strength of a signal that you receive directly from the other station. If the station’s signal is strong, both stations should move to a simplex frequency and free up the repeater.
To swap the transmission and reception frequencies:
Press [F], [MENU] to switch the Reverse function ON (or OFF).
•“R” appears when the function is ON.
Note: You can turn the Reverse function ON when you are operating in Simplex Mode. However, it does not change the Transmission/ Reception frequency.
AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK (ASC)
While using a repeater, the ASC function periodically checks the strength of the signal you are receiving from the other station. If the station’s signal is strong enough to allow direct contact without a repeater, the “
” indicator starts blinking.
